What is a contractor courier?

Contractor couriers are independent workers who deliver packages, documents, food, or other items on behalf of companies or individuals. Unlike traditional employees, contractor couriers are self-employed and often use their own vehicles to complete deliveries.

Contractor couriers are responsible for tracking their own income, expenses, and taxes, as they are not provided with employee benefits or payroll deductions. This role is common in gig economy platforms and delivery services.
